What are your favourite things under 50$ that make your life a bit easier or more pleasant?
I need some holiday gift ideas (that I will probably gift to myself as well)!

Enough phone and laptop chargers to not have to constantly go to another room to grab one.
Yes! I had enough of this so I bought like 6 USB-C cables at once, best buy ever
What's the current recommendation for those? Is it still Anker?
Also be sure to get a medium length one. It's so much nicer having a 6' cable, or 10' if you want to get crazy with it. It makes traveling and transit much nicer (ex. University students working on campus), and it might be nice for home so you can roll all over your bed while on your phone
I’ve heard good things about Nomad Goods. I have some of their other accessories for iPhone and watch, and it’s the best quality stuff I’ve ever found. I can’t personally recommend the USB-C cables or wall adapters, but I plan to get some soon. I have a leather case, MagSafe mount stand, and a few watch bands. All are incredible, but pricey.
I do have some Anker cables and they’re perfectly fine. Much better than others I’ve tried, including Apple shit. Anker also makes some nice outlet extension/USB adapter combos that are super convenient.
If you want a fancy coiled cable, try Ventec edit: Ventev. It’s amazing for the car - keeps it off the floor.
CableMatters is my go-to when I need something I can’t find above, like a USB extension cable or high-speed HDMI. They don’t feel as premium and are a bit stiff, but they’re reliable, and they just seem to make every option you can think of.
That's very detailed, thank you!
Any more info on this Eufy issue? A came across a camera system if theirs that's having issues. Might have to read up tomorrow.
Everything but Anker. They constantly make false marketing, that's why they lost Sponsor Deals.
I'm gonna guess yall over 30 since getting up and taking 10 steps to and from another room is such a big deal lol
Oh my time will definitely come. My back is already fucked at 23 so I'm like halfway there.
Start preparing now.
I started working on my generic grunt in my 30s and use it for all kinds of things: getting out of chairs, into chairs, picking something up off the floor, the first stair up or down, lifting anything with both hands, etc.
As time goes on I'm developing specialized grunts like a go slightly deeper on the first step down a flight of stairs than up.
It's been quite a journey.
Eh lazy or not my chargers are all plugged into outlets behind furniture.
Kwikset actually sells “programmable” padlocks
Pretty much all locks are re-keyable. Kwikset's "smart key" system is different only in that you don't have to buy new pins and take the lock apart to do it.
(I'm switching from Kwikset to commercial-grade Schlage because I wanted to upgrade the durability of my interior locks and wanted the exterior ones to match, so I'm about to find out how much more difficult normal re-keying is. Wish me luck!)
Normal rekeying is pretty easy, if you're careful - push out the core (the "follower" will hold your spring pins in place), dump out the old key pins, swap to the new key, and put in the new key pins, replace the core. Even when I've completely screwed it up (pushed the follower too far so the springs came out, mixed all the key pins together so I had to work out which was which, and more) it's not been more than a 10-minute job.
What's a bidet attachment do?
Washes your bum after using the toilet. Saves toilet paper. Gets your rear cleaner. This is a great suggestion. No power needed, just hooks right into the plumbing. I have this one . Bio Bidet Bidet Attachment for Toilet, White, Non Electric
Power is needed if you don't want the water to be ice cold, though
